Yikes. A great way to cut carbon emissions though.

‘For the US economy, much is at stake, with the inbound travel market a major revenue-earner worth $155 billion in overseas visitor expenditure, and with millions of Americans employed in the tourism industry.

‘In 2024, before the Trump administration took office and introduced its extreme version of enhanced vetting, more than 710,000 Australians visited the US, a nearly 17 per cent increase on the previous year.

‘Now the giant French hotel multinational Accor has warned that bookings from Europe to the US for this northern summer’s high season are down 25 per cent. Airlines such as the UK-based Virgin Atlantic are also sounding the alarm to investors.

‘Extraordinarily, in the past week, experts, via the pages of The New York Times and The Washington Post, have been recommending that foreign travellers at least delete “anything you wouldn’t want someone to read or see from your device before visiting the US”.’

The only sane response to an insane world is to be insane yourself.

Thats life in the second quarter of the 21st century of the common era for you. War, genocide, neo-liberal / late stage capitalism, mass extinction, global heating, climate catastrophes, fascists, bigots... The list goes on and on.

If that doesn't make you depressed and anxious there is something wrong in your head.

‘…Our Renewable Future, was released…partly in response to campaigns against renewables developments and the emergence of sock-puppet campaign groups backed by industry to advocate for fossil fuels.

‘The environmental groups want companies working in renewables to take more care about where they site their projects and ensure buy-in from First Nations peoples and local communities, warning that corner cutting will be used against them.

‘“One bad project can ruin it for everybody, threatening community support, damaging the environment, and empowering the fossil fuel lobby,” they say.

‘The groups want buffer zones and “no-go” areas to be created near high-value conservation areas to help project developers quickly assess where they should or should not site a project.’

(No, not the dig-a-bunker-hoard-food-and-shoot-everyone-prepper will survive. Nobody will make it alone, and also nobody will make it on the expense of others. Our greed and self-centeredness needs to die. I know I repeat myself, but let's grow up and help each other.)

Average person will be 40% poorer if world warms by 4C
Experts say previous #economic models underestimated impact of #globalheating – as well as likely ‘cascading #supplychain disruptions’
Australian scientists study suggests average per person #GDP across the globe will be reduced by 16% even if warming is kept to 2C above pre-industrial levels. This is a much greater reduction than previous estimates, which found the reduction would be 1.4%.

"Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are narrow, elongated regions of intense atmospheric moisture transport that are responsible for a large proportion of midlatitude extreme precipitation. [...] ARs will intensify due to warmer air’s ability to hold more moisture."

(If you still are not convinced how quickly that approaches, just go and ask an insurance or re-insurance company mathematician calculating the risks, for opinions on climate breakdown)

Everyone with half a brain knows that Australia effectively gives its petroleum and gas away. Yet more proof; whilst we export records amounts of greenhouse warming fossil gas, the government sees fit to collect 3 times more tax from excise on beer and spirits than it does from the gas majors, who have a free ride to accelerate #globalheating and #climatechange. #prrt theguardian.com/business/grogo

(We will have a severe problem much sooner me thinks - like in the coming 5-10 years - because of food insecurity, famines. Last year 40% global crop loss was calculated for 2025 due to weather disasters alone. There's no sense in calculating some imaginary GDP if there's nothing left to eat.)
